Ride, swim, race
Weekly group bike rides and coached pool sessions, plus an annual training holiday in Lanzarote.
Coached pool sessions
Drills and yardage with Serpentine coaches, Monday evenings at Guy's Hospital and Wednesdays at St Pancras. Most levels welcome if you can swim 100m front crawl.
Last Friday of the month 5k

Event detailsFounded in 1982, still growing
Serpentine started with a group of runners training for the 1982 London Marathon. Today we're one of the largest running and triathlon clubs in Britain — a wide mix of ages, from a few juniors to members in their eighties, but still a friendly, small-club feel. Our roots are in road running, but members now race cross country, track and field, and triathlon and multisport up to Ironman distance and beyond.
